[rules-users] JESS: Hello To Jess User Group and How Is Jess Doing?

[James Owen]

Ernest et al:

Sorry for the confusion on my part - which is why I included all of the email lists.  However, at one time (unless I have a really faulty memory chip) programmers outside of the USA used to complain because they could not get the source code (and sometimes the binary) because of the BATF regulations that considered computer source code as some kind of "munitions." 

Also, I personally did have to pay $100 for the source code way back when (about 2001 or 2002) unless I just wanted the binary version.  But, I have been allowed to download all of the upgrades since that time for free.

However, thanks for clarifying today's pricing options and showing that Jess is available world-wide, even with source.  That's great news!  Thanks,
